December 21 is the feast day of St. Peter Canisius, Doctor of the Church. Here are some of his quotes:
  • Better that only a few Catholics should be left, staunch and sincere in their religion, than that they should, remaining many, desire as it were, to be in collusion with the Church’s enemies and in conformity with the open foes of our faith.
  • These ceremonies which are used in the administration of the Sacraments, each of which we receive as delivered and entrusted to us through the hands of the fathers, must especially be retained and observed with great devotion.
  • If you have too much to do, with God’s help you will find time to do it all.
  • It behooves us unanimously and inviolably to observe the ecclesiastical traditions, whether codified or simply retained by the customary practice of the Church.

Peter Canisius (KANNEES, KANYS, probably also DE HONDT), BLESSED, b. at Nimwegen in the Netherlands, May 8, 1521; d. in Fribourg, November 21, 1597.
